O sertão potiguar comunica: midiatização e práticas sociais. Ou como a recepção da pauta política se desdobra em práticas sociais em Pau dos Ferros

This dissertation is the result of the development of a two-year research entitled POTIGUAR ACROSS THE COMMUNICATION: MEDIATIZATION AND SOCIAL PRACTICES. Or as the reception of the political agenda unfolds in social practices of the Pau dos Ferros, showwing Pau dos Ferros as a provincial oestano of Rio Grande do Norte, now living a meaningful set of social transformations, which interact with practices media that have just mediatized new public policies in the area of Technical Education and Higher Education. Thus, with the introduction and expansion of state and federal public policy of democratization of Technical and Higher Education in the period 2002 to 2010, the phenomenon of migration of students from elementary and high school, before existing in the region has changed significantly in that Pau dos Ferros polo is made. The concentration of the media city in the hands of politicians, in their favor, and the emergence of new midiatizações are contributed to the formation of this (non-migration) and other social practices, reinventing and rearranging the schedule of the ideas and concepts about the educational practices. Our goal is to observe the relationship of interaction between media, politics and education and examine how young students are realizing this interaction. Under the prospects of receiving the light of Cultural Studies, strolling our research primarily on the technique of focus group data collection

Memórias midiatizadas: percepções sobre ciência reconfiguradas a partir do consumo midiático

This piece focuses on the issue of media in the contemporary context, taking for its object the sociocultural phenomenon of mediatization‟, understood as the dilution of media culture in the everyday life, according to the perspective from Fausto Neto (2008) e Sodré (2002). This phenomenon is viewed from the angle of reception, that is, one that considers the individuals as pro-actives in this dynamic. The media culture is perceived as a fundamental element in the process of social structuring, and also is taken as a symbolic arm of great importance for the elaboration of the notion of reality as it interferes with the flow of information. Thus, we emphasize the process of symbolic consumption that we do with media content (Canclini, 1999), through a dynamic of appropriation and reframing, given from the interweaving of the meanings proposed with extra-media elements, recaptured from the perspective of mediations, by Barbero (2006), which concerns the articulation of the contents we appropriate from media with interactions from other social practices. We also consider the dimension of memory according to Sarlo (2007) and Halbwachs (2004) in order to, through speeches made in its scope, reach empirically the phenomenon of mediatization‟, and overlapping it, the media consumption on a specific theme, "science". Nevertheless, in terms of field work, we use the technique of in-depth interviews, so that the speech of our interviewers was our corpus. Through their narratives, speeches considered by us as memory-related, we visualize the dynamics of media consumption on given topic. At the level of conclusions, we realize that mediatization‟ as a phenomenon occurred, but its flows and orders showed discontinuities and pluralities not initially conceived; regarding the consumption of science through media, we see hybrid perceptions by our respondents, that is, one that include both elements aligned with the positivist conception of science - which we consider to be the view of science proposed by the media and elements that would contradict this view

Comunicar e interagir em novos espaços: o uso das mídias sociais no Sistema de Bibliotecas da UFRN

This study discusses about the practice of communication in libraries from the appropriation of the resources of web 2.0, particularly social media, establishing from the aspects of mediatization new communication scenarios in their environments. Aims at understanding how in the contemporary society, the libraries, that symbolize traditional space in the search for information and knowledge, modify their contexts through technological resources involved in your scenario, and specifically checks as the process of mediatization is inserted into the communication practices and interaction of libraries, noting the relevance of the ownership of social media, especially twitter and facebook, by the libraries of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN. Use as methodological procedures, a theoretical approach concerning the conceptual research to investigate issues relating to social media, communication practice, mediatization and network society, and is characterized by being a descriptive exploratory research, of qualitative nature with adoption of the inductive method, using interviews and direct observation, analyzing reconfiguration scenario of university libraries located in UFRN. Thus, with the of the study, expected to be possible to give an overview of how to establish the use of social media in the scenario investigated by checking the new possibilities of communication, outreach services, information dissemination and interaction with user

A midiatização da violência escolar: o cenário das produções acadêmicas

Este estudo busca contribuir para o estado do conhecimento da veiculação da violência escolar na mídia impressa e dos sentidos que lhe são atribuídos. O levantamento bibliográfico de trabalhos tais como teses e dissertações, artigos e publicações em periódicos e eventos, obtidos em bases de dados diversas, permitiu perceber, sobretudo, a negligência do campo da educação na produção de conhecimento a respeito do tema em questão, dada a carência de investigações, o que, do contrário, possibilitaria uma melhor compreensão do tipo de influência que a mídia exerce sobre a sociedade e a comunidade escolar, ao propor sua percepção do fenômeno da violência e deste em relação à escola.

Música e tecnointerações na Amazônia paraense: retóricas e identificações culturais em materialidades do Terruá Pará e da Banda de Thrash Metal Antcorpus

Há tempos a humanidade tem vivenciado um longo processo de midiatização social, intensificado com o advento das técnicas de reprodução da arte e da cultura. Este processo, na contemporaneidade, possibilitou a transformação da experiência real-histórica da música em experiência midiática. Neste contexto, cultura e negócios se fundem e se mundializam, reestruturando-se mutuamente. Na Amazônia paraense, a complexidade e as possibilidades dessa experiência midiática da música têm conduzido a região a mais uma onda de adequações a contextos globais. A dissertação trata dos processos comunicacionais e de identidade cultural por meio das materialidades de dois fenômenos da experiência da música contemporânea percebida na Amazônia paraense: o projeto de divulgação de música — Terruá Pará — e a Banda de Thrash Metal Antcorpus. As análises partiram da reflexão de que a comunicação pode ser entendida como uma hermenêutica da existência, atravessada por uma ambiência midiática. Dentre as observações verificadas, destacaram-se, pela importância: a midiatização social por meio de interações tecnológicas, isto é, tecnointerações, que vetorizam apropriações, e as incorporações de expressões musicais, tanto de agrupamentos de jovens quanto de profissionais relacionados às indústrias culturais locais. Ao vetorizar esses processos por meio de imagens midiáticas das experiências musicais, de identidade e diferença cultural, as tecno-interações exibem experiências sonoras da urbe, que em alguns casos sofreram processos metonímicos que evidenciam um sistema de norma do sentir que aqui denominamos política de estesia.

Europeanization in parliament and in the press

Europeanization challenges national democratic systems. As part and parcel of the broader internationalization of politics, Europeanization is associated with a shift from policymaking within majoritarian, elected representative bodies towards technocratic decisions among non-majoritarian and non-elected bodies (Kohler-Koch and Rittberger 2008, Lavenex 2013). It is thus said to weaken the influence of citizens and parliaments on the making of policies and to undermine democratic collective identity (Lavenex 2013, Schimmelfennig 2010). The weakening of national parliaments has been referred to as “de-parliamentarisation” (Goetz and Meyer-Sahling 2008) and has nurtured a broader debate regarding the democratic deficit in the EU. While not being a member of the EU, Switzerland has not remained unaffected by these changes. As discussed in the contribution by Fischer and Sciarini, state executive actors take the lead in Switzerland's European policy. They are responsible for the conduct of international negotiations, they own the treaty making power, and it is up to them to decide whether they wish to launch a negotiation with the EU. In addition, the strong take-it or leave-it character of Europeanized acts limits the room for manoeuver of the parliamentary body also in the ratification phase. Among the public, the rejection of the treaty on the European constitution has definitely closed the era of “permissive consensus” (Hooghe and Marks 2009). However, the process of European unification remains far remote from the European public. In Switzerland, the strongly administrative character of international legislation hinders public discussion (Vögeli 2007). In such a context, the media may serve as cue for the public: By delivering information about the extent and nature of Europeanized policymaking, the media enable citizens to form their own opinions and to hold their representatives accountable. In this sense media coverage may not only be considered an indicator of the information delivered to the public, but it may also enhance the democratic legitimacy of Europeanized policymaking (for a similar argument, see Tresch and Jochum 2005). While the previous contributions to this debate have examined the Europeanization of Swiss (primary and secondary) legislation, we take a closer look at two additional domestic arenas that are both supposed to be under pressure due to Europeanization: The parliament and the media. To that end, we rely on data gathered in a research project that two of us carried out in the context of the NCCR Democracy.1 While this project was primarily interested in the mediatization of decision-making processes in Switzerland, it also investigated the conditional role played by internationalization/Europeanization. For our present purposes, we shall exploit the two data-sets that were developed as part of a study of the political agenda-setting power of the media (Sciarini and Tresch 2012, 2013, Tresch et al. 2013): A data-set on issue attention in parliamentary interventions (initiatives, motions, postulates,2 interpellations and questions) and a data-set on issue attention in articles from the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ). The data covers the years 1995 to 2003 and the coding of issues followed the classification system developed in the “Policy Agendas Project” (Baumgartner and Jones 1993).

El viajero posmoderno : un aporte a la tipología de viajeros

El trabajo tiene por objetivo identificar las características que distinguen al viajero de la segunda mitad del siglo XX de sus antepasados: el peregrino medieval, el colonizador, el viajero moderno. El marco teórico lo brindan las reflexiones sobre postmodernismo (Hutcheon, Lyotard, Nogerol, Vattimo) y las tipologías clásicas de viajeros según el comparatismo (Pageaux, Wolfzettel).Es la hipótesis que el escritor viajero de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, lejos de ser simplemente un turista masificado, viaja en soledad, bajo las demandas de su individualismo. Su texto sin compromisos ideológicos fracciona la realidad, la deconstruye usando la fina ironía, la contradicción y la ambigüedad. No se interesa por la originalidad de su escrito, sino que lo arma como un collage inter- y paratextual, y es leído ampliamente, porque pertenece a la sociedad postmoderna con sus marcas de Individualismo, valores materialistas, multiplicidad espacio-temporal, mediatización de la realidad, masificación de la cultura y consumismo. Así, el relato de viajes que tradicionalmente ha sido siempre un texto subjetivo, con estilo aditivo y que ha servido de intermediario entre culturas resulta una tipología textual apropiada para la expresión de las experiencias del viajero postmoderno.

Sistema mediático, conflictos sociales e imaginarios políticos : un análisis aplicado al conflicto que, en 2008, enfrentó al Gobierno Nacional y al sector agropecuario. Espacio Público, colectivos de identidad y mediatización

Este proyecto de investigación se propone, en términos generales, entender cómo interviene el sistema de medios sobre los modos de producción de la discursividad política en un espacio público mediatizado. Puntualmente, interesa analizar las condiciones que la televisión -concebida en su triple condición de medio, institución y dispositivo tecnológico- impone a la construcción y gestión de identidades colectivas durante el denominado "conflicto del campo" en Argentina, entre Marzo y Julio de 2008. Entendemos que la mediatización es una dimensión misma del conflicto, y no un añadido impropio. En este sentido, nos preguntamos por el vínculo entre la lógica del discurso político y la lógica del discurso mediático cuando se trata de producir o gestionar entidades del imaginario político (colectivos de identificación, meta-colectivos, meta-colectivos singulares, etc.), y por las estrategias específicas, implicadas en cada lógica, para vincular lo individual (el lugar del líder, del representante, del periodista o del ciudadano) y lo colectivo (ya que ninguno de ellos puede evitar gestionar, en su discurso, el contacto con las identidades colectivas en pugna).
